Pentecost: Embracing the Beloved Community in Spirit

It's about creating a new world order. It's about creating a new world system. A system of God's system. A system that is God's kingdom. And the beloved community, people of God, is not in the past. It was not only on the day of Pentecost. The beloved community is here and now. Somebody say it is here. It here. Oh, come on. I'm not feeling you this morning. Somebody say it is here. It is here. And now. Amen. [00:49:21] (41 seconds)  #BelovedCommunityNow

When we have the vision of the beloved community, the world will notice us. When we have the vision of the beloved community, the world will notice us. They will ask what does this mean? What does this mean to be people from all over the world, from all places that are together. They will notice us that something is different about us. They will notice us that their spirit has breaking every boundary and we are a people that have been filled with the spirit. [00:45:53] (49 seconds)  #VisibleBelovedCommunity

When the spirit takes over, you come to church and the spirit nudges you, puts somebody on your heart and tells you, you need to encourage that person. You need to call that person. You need to be there for that person. The spirit when the spirit comes upon us, it enables us. Amen? Everyone is enabled. Everyone is enabled. All of them were filled. They began to speak. Everyone is is enabled and empowered to speak the language of the spirit. [00:47:30] (43 seconds)  #SpiritEmpowers

That is fully including everyone. That is inclusive with all people, with all backgrounds, with all diverse culture, and we can be a taste of God's kingdom right here on earth. The only reason I chose to be a Christian was because of Pentecost. Was because at Pentecost we saw what Christ did and what Christ want to do for the church. That our Pentecost is not about our life. It's about us giving the holy spirit room to do what only the holy spirit can do. Amen? [00:35:18] (51 seconds)  #GiveHolySpiritRoom

God is calling the church to become prophetic. Amen? And when we say prophetic, we we are saying that the spirit is calling us and help us to hear things that need to be heard. The spirit is calling us to speak about the gospel to become witness in our world. Amen. This is what Pentecost is about. It's about the beloved community. [00:48:46] (35 seconds)  #PropheticChurch

The spirit doesn't ask for permission. It gives us room to be ourself. The spirit was moving upon them. It was coming upon them, and people thought they were drunk. The spirit gives them to to to follow, but also to be free. People thought they were drunk because they were operating under heaven. They were operating under the power of heaven. Autally amazed, they asked. [00:45:09] (30 seconds)  #SpiritGivesFreedom

Today is Pentecost Sunday. Pentecost Sunday is the only Sunday we get in the year. I love the color red, but only Sunday in the year we get to use the color red to represent the power of the spirit and the coming of Pentecost. And the interesting thing is that we get to remember what it means to be Christians. At Pentecost Sunday, the church was born, and this is the only child that began to speak on the first day. At Pentecost Sunday, the church was born and and the church began to learn a new language, and that is the language of God. [00:27:34] (57 seconds)  #BornAtPentecost

They are able to when when we talk about enablement, we we are saying that they are able to receive this message and seek repair, repentance, reconciliation. They are enabled because God is raising prophets among them. He said the spirit will come upon you that your sons and daughters shall prophesy and your young men shall see visions. Your old men shall dream dreams. They are enabled to become prophetic. [00:48:13] (34 seconds)  #GenerationsProphesy
